Description: Title 30 CFR 75.1200,
75.1200–1, 75.1201, 75.1202, 75.1202–1,
and 75.1203 require underground coal
mine operators to have in a fireproof
repository in an area on the surface of
the mine chosen by the mine operator
to minimize the danger of destruction
by fire or other hazards, an accurate and
up-to-date map of such mine drawn on
scale. These standards specify the
information which must be shown, the
range of acceptable scale, the surveying
technique or equivalent accuracy
required of the surveying which must be
used to prepare the map, that the maps
must be certified as accurate by a
registered engineer or surveyor, that the
maps must be kept continuously up-todate by temporary notations and must
be revised and supplemented to include
the temporary notations at intervals not
more than 6 months. In addition, the
mine operator must provide the MSHA
District Manager a copy of the certified
mine map annually during the operating
life of the mine.
These maps are essential to the
planning and safe operation of the mine.
In addition, these maps provide a
graphic presentation of the locations of
working sections and the locations of
fixed surface and underground mine
facilities and equipment, escape way
routes, coal haulage and man and
materials haulage entries and other
information essential to mine rescue or
mine fire fighting activities in the event
of mine fire, explosion or inundations of
gas or water. The information is
essential to the safe operation of
adjacent mines and mines approaching
the worked out areas of active or
abandoned mines. Section 75.372
requires underground mine operators to
submit three copies of an up-to-date
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
mine map to the District Manager at
intervals not exceeding 12 months.
Title 30 CFR 75.1204 and 75.1204–1
require that whenever an underground
coal mine operator permanently closes
or abandons a coal mine, or temporarily
closes a coal mine for a period of 90
days, the operator shall file with MSHA
a copy of the mine map revised and
supplemented to the date of closure.
Maps are retained in a repository and
are made available to mine operators of
adjacent properties. The maps are
necessary to provide an accurate record
of underground areas that have been
mined to help prevent active mine
operators from mining into abandoned
areas that may contain water or harmful
gases.
Title 30 CFR 77.1200, 77.1201 and
77.1202 require surface coal mine
operators to maintain an accurate and
up-to-date map of the mine and
specified the information to be shown
on the map, the acceptable range of map
scales, that the map be certified a
registered engineer or surveyor, that the
map be available for inspection by the
Secretary or his authorized
representative. These maps are essential
for the safe operation of the mine and
provide essential information to
operators of adjacent surface and
underground mine operators. Properly
prepared effectively utilized surface
mine maps can prevent outbursts of
water impounded in underground mine
workings and/or inundations of
underground mines by surface
impounded water or water and/or gases
impounded in surface auger mining
worked out areas.
Title 30 75.373 and 75.1721 require
that after a mine is abandoned or
declared inactive and before it is
reopened, mine operations shall not
begin until MSHA has been notified and
has completed an inspection.
Standard 75.1721 specifies that the
notification be in writing and lists
specific information, preliminary
arrangements and mine plans which
must be submitted to the MSHA District
Manager.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the extension of the Labor
Market Information (LMI) Cooperative
Agreement. A copy of the proposed
information collection request (ICR) can
be obtained by contacting the individual
listed below in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before March 27, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A.
Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division
of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2
Massachusetts Avenue, NE.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The BLS enters into Cooperative
Agreements with State Workforce
Agencies (SWAs) annually to provide
financial assistance to the SWAs for the
production and operation of the
following LMI statistical programs:
Current Employment Statistics, Local
Area Unemployment Statistics,
Occupational Employment Statistics,
Quarterly Census of Employment and
Wages, and Mass Layoff Statistics. The
Cooperative Agreement provides the
basis for managing the administrative
and financial aspects of these programs.
The application package being
submitted to OMB is representative of
the package sent every year to State
agencies.
II. Current Action
The BLS requests approval for a
Generic LMI Cooperative Agreement
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4381
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). This is not a new
collection, but for the first time the BLS
is soliciting comments on the
application package—without its
program work statements—as a Generic
Cooperative Agreement application. The
work statements will be submitted
separately to OMB for review of any
minor year-to-year information
collection burden changes they may
contain. The existing collection of
information allows Federal staff to
negotiate the Cooperative Agreement
with the SWAs and monitor their
financial and programmatic
performance and adherence to
administrative requirements imposed by
common regulations implementing
OMB Circular A–102 and other grantrelated regulations. The information
collected also is used for planning and
budgeting at the Federal level and in
meeting Federal reporting requirements.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The BLS is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Title: Labor Market Information (LMI)
Cooperative Agreement.
OMB Number: 1220–0079.
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
governments.
Frequency: Monthly, quarterly,
annually.
